Multiple reports confirmed Bruno Mars will have the honor of performing the halftime show during Super Bowl XLVIII.
The show will take place Feb. 2, 2014 at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, home to the New York Giants and New York Jets.
Not that Mars is not an excellent choice for the halftime show, but considering the Super Bowl is supposed to take place in New Jersey, I'm surprised the Bruce Springsteen or Bon Jovi are not performing.
Well, the crooner will surely wow the crowd with a smooth, sexy performance. Though Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake became the talk of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, Mars' performance was spectacular.
He made love to the crowd (figuratively, of course) as he sand his hit song "Gorilla" without a backing track, one of the few artists who actually "performed" live during the award show.
According to the Los Angeles Times, an NFL spokesman offered no comment about Mars' Super Bowl performance, but did jokingly say Janet Jackson and Miley Cyrus were ruled out as halftime performers.
Cyrus was clearly ruled out due to her twerk-fail of a performance at the VMAs, where she attempted to shake her "goodies" in what viewers of the act dubbed as her "rubber granny panties."
The "We Can't Stop" singer was subjected to harsh words from MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski on TODAY show, where she discussed the hot topic a few days after the VMAs aired.
"There's pushing the envelope and there's porn, there's raunchy porn that's disgusting and disturbing and seeing... a 20 year old young woman literally in the process of her undoing and everyone clapping for it and being disturbed by it and talking about it and showing it, which I hope we don't," Brzezinski said. "Don't show it here on my segment, please."
Leaving Mileybird out the Super Bowl performance was a great call on the NFL's part.
Do you love the NFL's halftime performer choice or would you have picked another artist?
